We're back again!
After a minor update to the game by Seibertron, the staff asked you for your ideas and suggestions for new weapons for the game.
You gave us suggestions by the hundreds.
After a very busy few weeks picking our favorite ones, arguing about them a bit, abandoning the whole list and starting over and arguing some more, we are finally able to announce the staff top 10, here's Burn with the details...

"Let me tell you a story kid, a story that happened so many cycles ago there's only a few of us left that even remember".
"There was a bar, even after the war broke out, it remained neutral. Both sides would set aside their differences just to knock back a few."
"Met a few 'Cons there ... could have called them friends if we weren't at war"
"I remember one Autobot, he and I ... we would often drink together. We could have been best friends if it wasn't for the war".
"But this - Read More

Ever since Ryan flicked the switch on Heavy Metal War game, the HMW forums have been graced with many creative players. Some kitbashed, some photoshopped, some simply wrote fics while others drew renditions of their characters. But they all brought their HMW characters to life in some form.
Jason Tyler is a relatively new player to the game but he's kept on with the HMW creative tradition.
Drawing inspiration from the hugely popular Mosaics and HMW mission logs, Jason has created a - Read More

Here are the details!

Our good friend Jim Sorenson has just dropped us a line to let us know about the latest post he's made on his Disciples of Boltax blog.
This time around, he treats us to some backgrounds from "Roll for it." Diehard G1 fans will most likely remember that this was a first season Sunbow cartoon episode. In fact, it was only the 5th ever Transformers show aired and just the 2nd after the initial mini-series.
We have excerpted part of the sketch, but to see the rest of the image along with a - Read More

So it's the 2. of November which means the dead-line for the Transtopia HMW art contest is reached. If you haven't submitted your entry by now we're sorry but we can no longer except it.
The HMW team will now review the entries and announce which one they choose to be the official game map for Heavy Metal War.
Thank you for your - Read More

As most of you know, Moggy has decided he wants something a bit more colourful than the 1982 ZX-Spectrum graphics we have currently, so we've decided to up the ante on the altmodes making them larger and more detailed (this 2009 after all!) Whats more, we've also decided to add robot modes, weapons and armourinto the mix as well.
So, to put it simply: If there is an alt, robot mode, weapon or eve a piece of armour you want in the game, please make an icon for it using the instructions below - Read More

I want to apologize but there will be no monthly Transtopia art challenge this month, as someone needs the help of the superhuman life-forms that call themselves artists. Yes Seibertron.com's site game Heavy Metal War (HMW) is prepping for the conversion to 2.0!
Question: Now of what concern would that be for an artist?
Answer: The game needs a map!
So instead of Transtopia's monthly art challenge for October, I present you with the Transtopia "Give HMW a map of Cybertron" art - Read More

This is the Smelting Pool League
Taking the Heavy Metal War and adding extra metal.
The art of the gladiatorial arena retuns to Cybertron as the 4 factions face off against each other in a league that tests both the tactics and experience of the HMW commanders to the limit.
Firstly, congratulations again to Symbiote Spiderman 14 of the Decepticons for being the first ever ICL: Smelting Pool League Champion. His reward will be the alt of his choice for the next round.
Can he retain his - Read More

The Beast Wars have returned!
The battle lines have been drawn and, orchestrated by the devious Predacon Wingspan, the fragile cease-fire that survived for centuries between the Maximals and Predacons has been shattered.
Which of the Beast factions will conquer both their ancient enemies and the hazardous the Sonic Wastes to take the Brightsoul Matrix for themselves?
And what of the Autobots and Decepticons? Will they just stand aside to watch these events, or have they rallied amongst - Read More

Wingspan of the Predacons has kicked off the sign-up for our first big tourney of 2009, and its a battle between the Maximals and Predacons in a race to find the Brightsoul Matrix, an almost unknown artifact of great power.

It all begins on the 2nd March, the day the Beast Wars - Read More

We've known that this has been coming for years.
Since the Heavy Metal Warriors first faced off against each other back in 2003 we have seen HMW grow and develop into the wargame we all know and love to hate, but we also knew its time was running out and a new world would one day take its place.
Then, a month ago, this was released: The first teaser for HMW2.
The first peek into a whole new world and whet the appetite for what was to come.
Now, thanks to Omega Sentinel, we can get our - Read More

Hey guys,
OS has made some alterations to the Heavy Metal War missions!
As well as modifying the mission brackets to account for our new level 4's over the next few days, we've tweaked a few of the mission genration rules in the hope that they work a bit better for you all from now on.
1) ALL Predacon and Maximal mission weightings have set to the lowest amount so they should now ONLY triggered by a Max/Pred being active.
2) Likewise, Bot v Con and Pred v Max mission weightings have - Read More

Warriors of Cybertron,
We are The Huntmasters, and we represent the Bounty Hunting Elite of our world.
We have been watching those amongst you who have shown a thirst for the hunt.
Some amongst you hunt for the bounty, the sporting glory or the thrill of the chase. Others dedicate their time to capturing criminals and lawbreakers in these chaotic times and then there are also those who seek the answers to the universe that rest just out of their reach...
but the undeniable fact is that - Read More

Cybertron; a planet destroyed.
History calls it:
Heavy Metal War: The Organic Age
You saw Cybertron, devastated and drifting in space until struck by an alien asteroid.
From this, a new species of Transformer evolved; Efficient, smaller, just as powerful - maybe even deadlier. Heroic peacekeepers and warlike predators took the names Maximal and Predacon and war resumes for a new generation whilst the Autobots and Decepticons, reactivated as weapons of war, broke free to continue to - Read More
